20 years of learning together

We listened to your feedback from last year’s event and have focused on bringing you the best ECC agenda to date via eight insightful learning streams. We are of course bringing back some firm favourites including our ‘advanced’ and ‘general’ streams, but we have introduced three new streams including ‘advanced nursing’.

A few themes we are tackling his year will include ‘Driving and Maintaining Clinical Standards on the front line’, ‘What should I know about extracorporeal therapy?’ and ‘How to establish a senior nursing team’. We are welcoming world-renowned speakers including Simon Cook, Tim Trevail, Chloe Fay, Dan Tipney, Jenny Guyat and Erica Reineke.

We are confident our 2023 programme offers something for everyone, no matter what stage of your ECC career you are at.
